Hallelujah

OK, next one is Leonard Cohens song Hallelujah. I've heard this song a few times and really haven't given it any bigger attention, it's a decent tune, nothing more, nothing less. Then I watched Scrubs (wonderful TV-show) and heard someone sing it as a cover and... I loved it from the first moment.

The original is sung way too staccato for my taste and there's really not a good flow throughout the song. This is where Jeff Buckley succeeded. He didn't change the tune that much but the song is much more harmonical which makes it easier on my ears.

Verdict?
'Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah' - COVER


Original by Leonard Cohen (1981)


Cover by Jeff Buckley (1994)
